Chapter 312: [Invite the teacher to dinner]

Chen Qiuming stood up, looked at Li Chengqian gratefully, bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust in the Crown Prince!"

"No, get up, you are Xiao Chen's eldest brother, of course I trust you!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

With Li Chengqian's trust, Chen Qiuming was even more serious in doing things.

Regarding the layout of the workshop, he divided the workshop into a work area, a rest area, and a work area according to Li Chengqian's idea of ​​dividing it into a pharmacy and a production room. The rest area is mainly composed of a canteen and separates two work areas, one is a pharmacy and the other is a production room.

When Li Chengqian heard the canteen, he thought of the canteen when he was in college, so he told Chen Qiuming the set of the university canteen. Chen Qiuming's eyes shinyly recorded everything Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian said that what he gave him was just an idea and a concept. To realize it here, the people of the Tang Dynasty themselves need to change it so that things can better adapt to the environment of the Tang Dynasty. So after he finished speaking, he asked Chen Qiuming and Zhu Jie to study it in it, and he went to the manor to have a casual walk.

He mainly wanted to see the pigeons on the farm, but after entering the backyard of the farm, he found that the farm was pretty good. There were no servants in the backyard living in the backyard. I heard that it was left for the owner to live there. Li Chengqian, the owner, did not come to live there, so he kept it. Li Chengqian was thinking about when he would move here to stay for a few days.

Although there is an Eastern Palace in the palace, it should be one of the few good houses in the world, after living in the Eastern Palace for a long time, it would be a good enjoyment to stay in such a manor for a few days.

After visiting the manor, Li Chengqian returned to the hall and handed him the wine jar of flower dew that he had just demonstrated to Chen Qiuming, and left the manor.

When he returned to the East Palace, Li Chengqian still remembered asking Kong Yingda to change the memorial. He did not go back to Xichi Courtyard immediately, but instead turned to Chongwen Hall. However, it was a little dark now, and I don’t know if Kong Yingda is still in Chongwen Hall.

When Li Chengqian walked into Chongwen Hall, he saw Kong Yingda holding a book in his hand and sitting under the lamp reading quietly, and was stunned. Kong Yingda looked up and saw Li Chengqian and smiled: "Your Highness is finally here!"

He picked up the memorial left by Li Chengqian from the table and said to Li Chengqian: "Although your highness has not made any progress in writing..., I remember my teachings. I am very comforted. After reading this memorial, I have helped Your Highness correct it. Please read it."

Li Chengqian's face was a little red when Kong Yingda said it, thanked him, and then took the book and read the content. The format of classical Chinese made Li Chengqian dizzy all of a sudden, but these classical Chinese texts translated all the vernacular texts written by Lao Li. Old Man Kong obviously translated it with his heart, especially Li Chengqian knew how much old man Kong was about vernacular texts. How painful it would be to let him look at the most annoying vernacular translation. For the sake of Old Man Kong's heart, Li Chengqian also felt that he should finish reading the vernacular texts.

He finally finished reading it, bowed to Kong Yingda and said, "Thank you again!"

"Don't thank you. In the future, I will be relieved that Your Highness can write articles by yourself! Today's this one belongs to Your Highness, and this one belongs to you. Your Highness can compare them and learn how to write articles from it!" Kong Yingda handed him Li Chengqian's vernacular text.

After hearing these preachings, Li Chengqian felt a little uncomfortable. He was thinking about what excuse to use to dispel Old Man Kong's homework tasks, but suddenly he heard a gurgling sound.

The two were stunned. Li Chengqian looked at Old Man Kong's belly, and Old Man Kong smiled awkwardly.

"Master, please go to Xichiyuan to have a meal with Chengqian!" Li Chengqian asked respectfully.

Old Man Kong was waiting for Li Chengqian here. He was so hungry that he was roaring. Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel moved and invited him to have a meal together.

Old Man Kong was not pretentious and went with Li Chengqian.

Su Mi and Xiao Chen were waiting for Li Chengqian to come back for dinner. Seeing Confucius also coming, he was a little surprised. When Li Chengqian talked about the invitation of Confucius, Su Mi and Xiao Chen happily invited Confucius to sit down, and then asked the servants to prepare bowls and chopsticks. After asking Confucius to sit down, Su Mi and Xiao Chen both retreated.

Confucius looked at the round table, which was filled with rich dishes, and asked in confusion: "Why is Your Highness not sitting in separate seats when you have a meal, but this..."

People in the Tang Dynasty had separate meals. When they were eating, they sat on the ground. Each person had a small table in front of them, and there was a person's food on the table. The separate meals to the later combined meals were because the table and chairs became taller.

After Li Chengqian came to the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally not used to the separate meal system, so after he made out the high chairs and high tables, he never had a separate meal system in the East Palace.

"Oh, Master doesn't know. Everyone gathers around a table and eats together to be lively and friendly!" Li Chengqian waved to Su Mi and Xiao Chen who were about to go out, and what was running away?

Confucius asked again: "Then why did this person have two pairs of chopsticks? Two spoons?"

Li Chengqian said: "This is a public chopstick and a public spoon, which is used to pick up food, while these chopsticks and spoons are used to eat by themselves."

Confucius nodded and said, "Oh, that's great!"

Su Mi and Xiao Chen walked back to Li Chengqian reluctantly, and Li Chengqian said, "Sit down to have a meal together. If you leave, the Master will misunderstand that you don't welcome Master!"

Confucius looked at Li Chengqian in confusion. This man had dinner, and women would not join together. Why did the prince not follow these etiquettes? But Li Chengqian said it before, and if he left, he would not welcome him. Confucius didn't dare to correct Li Chengqian's thoughts!

Su Mi and Xiao Chen wanted to explain, but Li Chengqian took him to sit on his side, then invited Confucius and dinner began.

Although the fierce way of eating hippos surprised Confucius, the delicious dishes on the table almost made Confucius swallow his tongue.

During the whole meal, Confucius kept asking what dish it was and what meat it was, which made people laugh.

"What kind of dish is this?"

"Beggar chicken."

"What's the name of this dish?"

"Roast Duck."

"What kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

“This is lamb roasted with cumin!”

Sister Hippo raised her hand and waited for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

Li Chengqian and Confucius looked at her and saw that she was trying hard to swallow the flesh in her mouth. After a long time, she said, "Teacher, if you don't eat these things well, how can you just use them to speak?"

Li Chengqian, Su Mi and others almost burst into laughter. Confucius was stunned, then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll eat now!"
